have a look Trango http://www.trangobroadband.com/wireless-products/analog-video-radios/ Looks like these should do the job for you.

1. What is your (client's) budget? If you're only considering 4 or 8 channel system, I guess they are only doing wide angle monitoring? 2. Sony only makes IP cameras now, quite pricey, Samsung, Nuvico are well established brand, and Cantek is a house brand of 123securityproducts.com. 6. All DVRs should now be using H.264 compression. H.264 compression was introduced into the security market in 2008 and is now a common compression technology for IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs. NVRs will also support MPEG4 and JPEG, but that's to accommodate older IP cameras and video servers. Any DVR that is still using MPEG4 was designed pre-2007 and should be avoided. 7. 8 IP cameras should go through a switch first, and then to a modem (or modem/router) where your PC will connect locally. 123 Security is one of the biggest distributors in CCTV industry based in New York City. If I am not mistaken they've been around over 50 years and is a solid company. Good Luck!

If you're looking for an 8 channel system - with 2 HD cameras and 1 PTZ, you may want to reconsider your budget. But before we jump into conclusions, let's figure out what it is that you need exactly. 1. 2 HD cameras for the office with audio. Are you suggesting HD cameras for the office because of the picture quality? What is the purpose of the cameras? If you only need to capture people's faces then any analog (non-HD) cameras will do as long as the DVR is recording at 720x240 (Half D1) or higher. Recording rate will have to adjust based on what tier DVR you purchase. Covert audio recording is illegal in many states - so you may want to check with your local agency or attorney for verification. 3. PTZ camera for the parking lot PTZ camera is useless unless someone is sitting at a desk and constantly monitoring and controlling the PTZ camera. Sure it sees far and you can move it around, but nowadays, it rarely justifies the cost. For a decent 18X zoom PTZ camera, you could probably get 4~6 cameras depending on the features, but it will cover far more grounds and not miss a spot. After all, while you're moving the PTZ camera around, you will not be able to see anything else... Since I can't actively promote here, I'll provide the basics for your needs: 1. Hybrid DVR - 2 channel HD and 8 channel D1 - all real-time recording capable. Start off with 2HD cameras and 6 additional (SD) cameras and have 2 available for expansion later. (over $2K limit) 2. IP camera and NVR - you can get 6 to 8 channel mixed megapixel/SD IP cameras and an embedded NVR for under $2,000. 3. Hybrid NVR - up to 8 analog cameras and up to 8 VGA (640x480) resolution IP cameras. 4. You can always go all HD-SDI or all megapixel IP... but then again, it'd be over your budget. The bottom line is to really understand what your client wants to achieve and then offer the best possible solution. You can always add the microphones separately and run them to the DVR without any problems. Good luck!

About 3 years ago, I know that Cisco has come out with a wireless IP transmitter that has a range of about 1.5 miles. If I remember correctly, you needed a line of sight. How are are the cameras from the DVR? that would help others to suggest a list of equipment.

What is your budget? For a 2 camera system, you may want to consider IP cameras and an NVR. Keep in mind that the CCTV industry is full of unknown brands and products, and the majority of major corporations, such as Pelco, Honeywell, Speco and such are importing and private labeling many of these DVR and camera brands that you are mentioning. HIK vision, CNB and Dynacolors are TRUE manufacturers of CCTV products from China, Korea and Taiwan respectively. Of course, all three companies manufacture in China. You will find many unnamed brands that are OEM manufacturers for large corporations in the US and elsewhere in the world. I don't have personal experience with HIK Vision products, but I have first hands experience with CNB products and Dynacolor products. Both decent and durable, and stable. CNB has a US based support office in 3 States (NJ, TX and CA), whereas I don't know much about the support channels for HIK and Dyna. The bottom line is, that if your local or internet outlet are selling these and if the manufacturer support these without any problems, you should not have any issues. The standard of CCTV products is now 3 years. So factor that in when you're comparing product pricing.
